DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and inter-connections between the pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug before making or changing connections.

DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.

DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.

DO route the mains lead so that it is not likely to be walked on, crushed, chafed, or subjected to excessive wear and tear or heat.

**************

DON’T remove any ﬁ xed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.

DON’T obstruct the ventilation openings of the equipment with items such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.

DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to dripping or splashing, or objects ﬁlled with liquids, such as vases, to be placed on the equipment.

DON’T place hot objects or naked ﬂ ame sources such as lighted candles or nightlights on, or close to equipment. High temperatures can melt plastic and lead to ﬁ res.

DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER ﬁ x legs with wood screws - to ensure

complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the ﬁ xings

provided according to the instructions.

DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from

the requirements of trafﬁ c safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.

DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your

hearing.

DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is speciﬁ cally stated

that it is designed for unattended operation or has a stand-by mode. Switch off using the

switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this. Special

arrangements may need to be made for inﬁ rm or handicapped people.

DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working

normally, or if it is damaged in any way - switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult

your dealer.

ABOVE ALL

---NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case - this could result in a fatal electrical shock;

---NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind

---it is better to be safe than sorry!

*************.

The TV set should be operated only from a 220-240V AC, 50 Hz outlet. Ensure that you select the correct voltage setting for your convenience.

Power Cord

Do not place the set, a piece of furniture, etc. on the power cord (mains lead) or pinch the cord. Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not unplug the appliance by pulling from the power cord and never touch the power cord with wet hands as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be placed in such a way that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause ﬁ re or give you an electric shock. When it is damaged and needs to be replaced, it should be done by qualiﬁ ed personnel.

This TV receiver is supplied with a moulded mains plug. The mains plug must not be cut off, as it may contain a special radio interference ﬁ lter, the removal of which could lead to impaired performance. If you wish to extend the lead, obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer.

Observe the manufacturers instructions when connecting extension leads to the set. Check the fuse rating on the new plug; this should be ﬁ tted with a 5 Amp fuse which conforms to either ASTA or BSI (BS1362) approvals, these are easily identiﬁ able by
